I'm trying to make uefi linux happen with ipxe.efi !
Tryied dozen different version of *.efi, it just can't. Everytime the same error message:
kernel /vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img

“Could not select : Exec format error”

I want to know , IS THERE any way to help me finish this?

If you read the full error message that you get and follow that url you will see a explanation about the issue. Mainly that in EFI mode the file you are trying to boot must be a EFI binary (linux kernel needs CONFIG_EFI_STUB enabled to be EFI compatible) there is several other posts about this already, here is one of my previous replies to same/similar question: http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7726&pid=11650#pid11650

So i have to recompile the kernel file(vmlinuz), and set CONFIF_EFI_STUB enabled. if that's true, is there some kernel file already done with uefi that i can test before i do.

I just find normal kernel file with 3.3 version or newer it could boot with ipxe.efi. In this page, it says kernel 3.3, you don't have to do anything to uefi boot.
